PLAYER ANALYSIS
Dual-threat quarterback lacking desired footwork and fundamentals from the pocket, but the results were often better than the aesthetics. Perkins has adequate arm strength and a very sudden release. He is at his best in a quick read-and-throw scheme that allows him to find a rhythm early in the game. His process tends to break down too early when tasked with working through progressions and his sack total suffered because of it. He's a capable play extender and runner, but he's not as fluid or natural with his open-field movements as he might need to be if a team has designs on transitioning Perkins to another position.
